Assignment: Development Opportunities
A leader's role changes in each of the four different stages of team formation: forming, storming, norming, and performing. Consider the key activities that you, as a leader, must perform to take your team through and beyond each stage. Use the Internet and the University online library resources to read the current academic literature on some real-life examples.
As a leader, you must make sure that your team functions efficiently and the socioemotional needs of your team members are met.
